What's inside Two dictionaries
The Ministry of Education dictionary comes first; the 台文華文線頂辭典 fills in only when it has no match. Both are included verbatim — never rewritten, never merged — and every entry shows where it came from.
29,591 headwords · 23,298 senses · 17,907 examples · all audio
CC BY-ND 3.0 TW · included as-is
64,920 headwords, 43,131 of them absent from the Ministry's dictionary
CC BY-SA 4.0 · Tēⁿ Liông-úi, Iûⁿ Ún-giân
What you get Free & offline
Everything ships inside the app
Both dictionaries and the category index are bundled, so lookups work offline and without an account the moment you install it. Entries are shown in Hanji and Tâi-lô, and you can search in Tâi-lô, POJ or numeric tones.
Recordings from the Ministry
Play the original audio for both headwords and example sentences, including accent differences from 10 regions. Download the audio packs once and everything plays offline.
Point the camera, tap to look up
Aim at Taiwanese text and the app segments it against the dictionary, highlighting the words it can look up. Tap one to open its entry — useful for characters you can't yet pronounce.
Browse by theme, keep what you need
Explore vocabulary through the Ministry's 23 categories / 103 subcategories. Bookmark the words you use, get your lookups saved automatically, and put a "word of the day" widget on your Home Screen.
